FYI
Here was my response to Nicolas at 888
Dear Nicolas,
Thank you for writing. It’s a shame we couldn’t have become acquainted under more pleasant circumstances. The members of our community are rightfully outraged by the illegal theft of their content by a select few rogue affiliates of 888. We brought this to the attention of your affiliate management staff repeatedly and relentlessly for months in hopes of clearing this matter up in an agreeable manner. I was finally told that senior management of the group had decided that no action would be taken against the largest affiliate responsible for the content theft as he personally generated over 1000 depositing players each month for the casino and was simply too valuable an asset to offend.
Unfortunately, that position leaves thousands of honest affiliates out in the cold and causes irreparable damages to their businesses. Had 888 taken the high road on this matter and done the right thing and suspended this affiliate until he agreed to stop the content theft then you would have been applauded by our members. Instead you chose the unpleasant path that we are all on now.
If that weren’t enough I understand you are even sponsoring a Poker Tournament for “Black hat” SEO affiliates so your position seems to be clear, you have chosen to work with dishonest webmasters and content thieves and spammers rather then reputable affiliates. I don’t know how a publicly traded company and founding member of eCogra could make such a reprehensible decision but that appears to be what you’ve done.
We support the right to free speech and while CAP as a company will no longer take any public positions on 888 please don’t act indignant that the affiliates who are being victimized would be upset or voice their anger on forums such as CAP. You are welcome to register as a guest at CAP and respond to any posts that you take issue to.
